Everything is shit, but it has nothing to do with immigrants.

It's billionaires who charge you the earth for energy, banking, food, public transport, housing...

And then steal all the money and provide almost nothing.

Think about how many countries are arresting protesters for terrorism because they're protesting against Israel.

Then let yourself finally understand the scope of what is happening right now.

It's not just the u.s.
They are after the whole world & their finish line is in sight.

ARE YOU AWAKE YET

When the U.S. uses the military against citizens, attacks immigrants, and executes people who pose no threat, it jeopardizes our national security because it incites violence, invites retaliation, normalizes fascism, and sets precedence for others to follow suit.

The liberals seem to think they can "vote blue no matter who" their way out of fascism.
Steve Bannon says ICE will be at all the polling places, harassing everyone.
Russia? more like Israel.
There will not be a fair election.

all of this bullshit in US gov was inevitable from the point in 2010 when the US Govt was turned over to the elite and corps

taking over/looting the USA has been the long game, major milestone 1 was handled by Justices John Roberts, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

Now this is interesting

It’s really should read REPUBLICAN Governors

Cos Trump never invited a single Democratic governor to his dinner

Not a good look Mr. Trump. Your own mob don’t trust you

You’re losing your grip sir, one Republican at a time

Israel is moving forward with its plans for mass execution of Palestinian prisoners without appeal or even a fair trial. Canada, France, UK, etc will all tut when they hang doctors for the crime of not abandoning their patients, and then move on to signing their next free trade agreement with Israel

What a surprise, when successive govts respond to mega donations with donor friendly policies.

Time to severely limit donation size & stop corporate donations.

The Epstein files show that Brexit was never a “plucky British revolt”. In reality, Brexit was fed, and empowered, by an entire class of oligarchs and autocrats, who thrive on chaos, weak regulation and brittle institutions.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.
